We are delighted to support the Connacht Junior Open again this year. It was great to see so many participants take to the courts. Keep up the good good work and we are looking forward to next already!
A huge thank you to all the volunteers who supported the Connacht Junior Open over the weekend, far too many to mention by name but a special word of thanks to GLTC Squash Galway junior players, Roisin Murphy and Conal Flaherty, for their help.
We had 113 junior players taking part, creating a great atmosphere both on and off the courts.
There was some superb squash played with many winners winning titles again in Galway and some first time winners also.
Great to see players coming all the way from outside the island to compete as well.
2 prize winners from Connacht:
U11 Boys 3rd Place - Leo Gilligan Galway
U17 Boys 3rd Place - Ben Lynch Galway
Sincere thanks to our t-shirt sponsors Coiscéim Foot Clinic Barna SymPhysis Medical, and Mullery Auctioneers for their generous support as always. These three companies never let the event down and their suport means a lot.
